Perle S-100Mm-S1Sc20D Media Converter

SKU CH-6QY6-Q32QY

Converts 100BASE-FX 1310 nm multimode to 100Base-BX single-strand single-mode with 2 km and 20 km reach

  • TypeData & Communication
  • Converts 100BASE-FX multimode to single-mode fiber
  • Extends multimode links up to 1.2 miles
  • Reaches 12.4 miles on single-strand single-mode fiber
  • Uses 1310 nm TX and 1550 nm RX wavelengths
  • Includes USA power cord for immediate deployment

Product Identity

The Perle S-100Mm-S1Sc20D is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed for network engineers linking multimode and single-mode fibre segments. It bridges 100BASE-FX at 1310 nm over SC multimode fibre up to 2 km with 100Base-BX single-strand single-mode fibre at 1550 nm TX and 1310 nm RX up to 20 km.

Thermal and Power Behaviour

The unit ships with a USA power cord for direct mains connection and operates without active cooling. No fan noise is produced and power draw remains low enough for standard outlet use in wiring closets or equipment racks.

Integration Notes

SC connectors on both sides allow patching into existing duplex and single-strand fibre plants without adapter panels. The converter frees up switch ports by extending 100 Mbps links across 12.4 miles of single-mode fibre while preserving the 1.2 mile multimode segment. It is not suited for Gigabit or 10 Gigabit links, nor for networks requiring CWDM or DWDM wavelengths.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Perle S-100Mm-S1Sc20D media converter and what step is often missed?

Connect the multimode SC fibre to the 1310 nm port and the single-mode SC fibre to the 1550 nm TX/1310 nm RX port, then apply power; the step often missed is confirming the TX wavelength matches the remote RX wavelength.

What maintenance or replacement will the Perle S-100Mm-S1Sc20D need later?

The converter itself has no user-serviceable parts; plan to inspect and clean the SC connectors periodically and replace patch cords if insertion loss exceeds the 2 km multimode or 20 km single-mode link budget.

What limit appears first on the Perle S-100Mm-S1Sc20D under sustained use?

The 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet throughput ceiling is reached before any thermal or distance constraint on the 2 km multimode or 20 km single-mode fibre links.
